Transcript
- 0:02All right, So thanks to so many of you who have reached out and
- 0:06congratulated Gabby and I and the story of how this all came to be.
- 0:10You'll come out in the next few days. Maybe I'll do a one on
- 0:13one with Gabby. But you know, I've always tried to keep this side
- 0:18of life on the personal side. But this is something that even if it
- 0:23hits the radio airwaves, I think it should be shopping from the rooftops.
- 0:27This is is a story of find you know, love finding its way five
- 0:37years on and off and this year I said this has to be permanent,
- 0:44and here we are. We are engaged, baby. But I did have
- 0:48some other eyes on the news this weekend, and I just have to say,
- 0:55tomorrow we're gonna talk with the National Taxpayers Union about this issue of Israel,
- 1:00and believe it or not, we still sanction Israel. Do you know
- 1:03that? Did you know we have sanctions on the state of Israel even during
- 1:07wartime. We'll talk to Brian Reilly of the Free Trade Initiatives Department of the
- 1:15NTU tomorrow about this. But I just have to say, I just have
- 1:21to say, can you get a more backwards ambassador for Israel? This has
- 1:27been on my mind all weekend, even through the proposal, even through the
- 1:30birthday weekend. This has been on my mind, and I haven't been able
- 1:34to talk about it because we've been a little busy. But it bothers me
- 1:42that while we're in wartime supporting Israel, guess who they thought would be a
- 1:48great idea to be the United States Ambassador to Israel? Ever heard of?
- 1:53A guy named Jack lou So. Jack lou is an American attorney and politician
- 2:01who served as a seventy sixth United States Secretary of the Treasury from twenty thirteen
- 2:09to twenty seventeen. Why does this matter, Well, he was the architect,
- 2:15one of them behind the Iran Deal. That's right, Jack lou the
- 2:23man behind the Iran Deal, which states clearly Iranian government does death to Israel,
- 2:31death to America. The White House thinks this is the perfect pick to
- 2:38be the ambassador to Israel, a guy who pretty much wanted to align with
- 2:43the Iran the Iranian government and wrote the book for the deal itself. And
- 2:53I can see why the Republicans would be really really not in favor and weary
- 3:04of solidifying this pick for ambassador. I mean How can you say you support
- 3:15Israel and then also say, but we're gonna pick a guy that was an
- 3:22architect of the Iran Deal while US Secretary of Treasury from thirteen twenty seventeen.
- 3:29And oh, by the way, the Iran Deal was not going to stop
- 3:35the weaponry, was not going to stop the government from saying death to America,
- 3:39death to Israel. Can talk to it fuel it, The deal fueled
- 3:44Iran. And now you're going to pick him. Just we give six billion
- 3:51dollars for a hostage swamp to the Iranian government. Where did that six billion
- 3:57go? And I know Lincoln says, well, to be honest, the
- 4:02money we've given Ran has also gone to terrorism. I played the clip earlier
- 4:08when this war started out, when Hamas viciously attacked Israel and the Israeli citizens.
- 4:17And apparently now everybody on the left is still continuing to say nat Yahoo
- 4:24better watch out about blowing up civilians. You know, the bay administration launched
- 4:30airstrike after airstrike killing civilians. So they don't want they should not be lecturing
- 4:38by Bibi Natnell on this. Joe Biden, the VP, should have no
- 4:45business lecturing lecturing Yah neither should Obama, who I think speaking out about this.
- 4:54It's clear who's giving marching orders in Washington. It's gotta be President Obama,
- 4:59right because Biden came and string a sentence together sometimes most of the time.
- 5:06But that's neither here nor there. What is here is that they're deciding,
- 5:13well, quote unquote, they say they stand with Israel, they're deciding
- 5:16to pick an ambassador for Israel that has done the complete opposite by supporting,
- 5:25by writing, by being an architect of the Iran deal. That is a
- 5:32slap in the face to our ally Israel. That is a slap in the
- 5:36face to even diplomacy. They talk about all the time in Washington, how
- 5:44Trump killed democracy diplomacy. You think picking an ambassador to Israel who wrote on
- 5:51the Iranda, who wrote the Iran deal is the perfect candidate. It's disgusting.
- 6:01It's just anti American and anti Israel. It's gross. It's gross,
- 6:12and I really hope that that pick does not get confirmed, because how can
- 6:16we say we stay with Israel, but pick the ambassador to Israel that's completely
- 6:21doing the opposite by supporting Iran, by supporting Iran. But enough of the
- 6:30bad stuff on this there is an interesting story coming out tonight. See,
- 6:35I love that decision put me on the press list because I get all these
- 6:39different things. There's a group called the Slavic Gospel Association which are local which
- 6:49in addition to Jewish Christians, Russian speaking immigrants and evangelical churches in Russia are
- 7:01in Israel right now providing free groceries and serving hundreds of hot meals daily to
- 7:09overwhelm the Israelis. So shout out to the Slavic Gospel Association. But here's
- 7:16the best part, Nicole ponder OFAMMP and in christ Communications for releasing this with
- 7:35the evangelical churches distributing groceries and hot meals to hundreds of traumatized families in Israel.
- 7:44Some relief teams consist of Ukrainian refugees who fled the conflict in Ukraine and
- 7:54are now in another conflict in Israel. The pressure says, these courageous individuals
- 8:01are offering hope and comfort to their neighbors in reminding them that God has not
- 8:05forgotten them even in these dark times. So you know what, Joe Biden,
- 8:13if you can say you're not forgetting Israel, take a look at this
- 8:20story. Of Ukrainian refugees who fled their own country when Russia attacked, and
- 8:28now we're helping Israel after Hamas attacked in the darker night. They are being
- 8:35more helpful to Israel than the Biden administration is I don't care if there's eight
- 8:39billion dollars going to Israel. I really don't. I shouldn't say that.
- 8:43I do care. I do care that arms are being provided. Do I
- 8:48like deployment of American soldiers not so much, But we have to do everything
- 8:52we can to protect Israel. I get it. But behind the scenes,
- 8:58they're appointing a guy who you know, wrote the Iran deal, a deal
- 9:05that they didn't even need. What was a JCPOA inspections were not really needed,
- 9:11basically letting Iran lie about their weapons systems. Do we really think six
- 9:20billion dollars and all the money given during the Iran Deal has been delivered to
- 9:28humanitarian efforts in Iran? No? You know, I think the Iranian people
- 9:33are more oppressed than the media likes to give them credit. What I mean
- 9:37by that is they're not a free people in Iran. They're just not,
- 9:45and stop acting like they are. Stop acting like they are because Unfortunately,
- 9:56like innocent Palestinians, they are innocent Iranians caught in the crossers of this that
- 10:01I don't believe subscribe to what their government's telling them. And we saw that,
- 10:07and we saw that with the protests in Iran of the arrest of that
- 10:13young woman last year. We did see a little uprising in Iran, which
- 10:20is good to see because someone's got to stop their government. Someone's gotta rise
- 10:26up and say this is not right. And I don't think it's gonna be
- 10:31the Biden administration. I really don't. But I'm gonna link this article and
- 10:37there's some video which I can release in the link below as well. SGA
- 10:43dot org and it's an Illinois based Slavic Gospel association partnering with Russian speaking Evangelic
- 10:54evangelical churches in Israel, distributing free groceries and serving hundreds of hot meal daily
- 11:01to overwhelm Israelis. Eric Mack is the organization's senior vice president, and the
- 11:09relief teams confirmed include Christians who fled Ukraine. They went to Israel and now
- 11:24they are in themselves a war zone. But they're helping the victims. And
- 11:30I hope to get Eric Mack on this podcast to talk about these efforts,
- 11:35because this is not something to ignore. This is a moment not to ignore.
- 11:41And just kudos to refugees who probably fought their damnedest in Ukraine. Even
- 11:50though they fled. I'm sure they thought that what they could then they had
- 11:52to leave because let me tell you what that Russia Ukraine war showed is the
- 12:00Ukrainians are some tough, tough people defending their homeland. And I know it's
- 12:11gonna be comfortable to say, but they're defending their homeland while I was the
- 12:16Lenski's asking for more money and only that he's on the cover of GQ.
- 12:22I thought this was a wartime situation that's near the word over there. Just
- 12:26kudos to the Ukrainian refugees who are now in Israel after fleeing the Ukraine Russian
- 12:33war, and those people should have a spotlight shining them and that's why I'm
- 12:41shining it here on the Alex Garrett podcast Network. A lot of stuff coming
- 12:46up this week SGA dot org. Check it out, as well as the
- 12:56upcoming interview with what He's called himself on Twitter, Free Trade Brian Brian Reilly
- 13:01of the National Taxpayers Union, and so much more to come this week on
- 13:05the Alex Garrett podcast Network
